Nicole Paige Brooks

RuPaul's Drag Race Season 2

From Season 2 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, is a lady from an international upbringing, but also one who stays grounded with her southern bell roots. Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, she got into drag because she was dared to on Halloween by friends. Always one to push the envelope, she continued with it and derived her three names from different sources: “Nicole” from her high school girlfriend, “Paige” from Bettie Paige, and “Brooks” from her drag mother, Shawnna Brooks. Her run on Drag Race, although short, was a tumultuous one. She is remembered most for her “crush” on Raven, which later turned into a full-fledged feud. When not in drag, she keeps busy doing shows around the country and caring for her son, Lukas.
